Political notes from Free Press staff writers Terri Hallenbeck, Sam Hemingway and Nancy Remsen


12.14.2007

 

Primarily speaking

Over at Vermont Public Television, they have started an online discussion about the Vermont primary. Yes, that’s right, the one that comes March 4, after the primary races migth have already been decided. Nonetheless, Vermonters who are presidential primary junkies will be able to gather in a virtual sort of way and blab away.

The catch for those of you used to hiding behind the mask of anonymity is that they are requiring registration with your name and e-mail address. Bubba and friends need not apply.

Freelance journalist Jon Margolis will moderate the discussion. Jon posts an item and invites discussion about it. There is, at the moment, also a poll asking: "Two of the Republican candidates -- Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson -- have proclaimed that our political freedoms come from God, not from government. Do you agree?" Four people have responded, three voting no and one yes.

The site is designed, for whatever reason, for those ages 50 and above, but they let me sign up and pick the "under 49" age category. Nothing about the discussion seems to exclude the younger set.

So far it appears state Rep. Jim Condon is the only one besides Margolis to post anything. Condon won't be 50 until March 19, but he's there trying to talk up Bill Richardson for president.

Comments:
Bubba doesn't really care too much about any Vermont primary that attracts the drooling, hydrophobic loons of the nutty left. Sorry.
 
Condon?
 
Isn't that what they found in a Whopper out west?
 
If you consider Poultney, VT to be "out west."
 
By the way, could they possibly have found a more biased, left-wing Bush-hater than Margolis? This passes for "moderating" anything? He is a wealthy liberal flatlander that hates anything not far, far left! Read some of his garbage!
 
Margolis and the media aren't anti-bush, bubbles.

The facts are. Deal with it.

Always a pleasure.
